On-line Forms & E-mail

We do not obtain personal information (e.g. name, address, e-mail address, etc.) about you when you visit the COMPAS web site unless you choose voluntarily to provide such information to us.

If you identify yourself by sending an e-mail please be aware that:

• Various people at COMPAS may see the material you submit
• We may enter the information you send into our electronic database, to share with our health care professionals, researchers, or our Internet services staff
• In other limited circumstances, including requests from legal authorities, we may be required by law to disclose information you submit

You should note that electronic mail and other Internet communications channels are not necessarily secure against interception. While we take precautions, such as encrypting communications where appropriate, if your communication is very sensitive, or includes information like your diagnosis or medical history, you might want to send it by postal mail instead.

Under no circumstances will we ever disclose (to a third party) personal information about individual medical conditions or interests, except when we believe in good faith that the law requires it.

From time to time, this web site may provide links to other useful or interesting web sites that are not owned or controlled by COMPAS. We cannot be responsible for the content or privacy practices used by other web site owners.
